    Business Challenge
    Everyone needs to sell to survive; increasingly on a global basis and with tougher time and budget constraints. Managing the technical barriers to trade through determining what standards and country requirements apply to a given product, is an arduous task. Achieving on-time compliance in today's complex, competitive and changing environment entails expert knowledge of the differing in-country compliance requirements for electrical equipment, as well as the in-depth knowledge of the legislation which can change for certain products on a daily basis. To maintain competitive advantage, equipment suppliers cannot risk being late to market because of approvals bottlenecks.

    Solution
    What is International Approvals Management?

    International Approvals Management is a service whereby the equipment supplier outsources some or all of the homologation process to a dedicated approvals management company. The service outsourced can be as simple a process as performing market research to understand your market entry requirements or as complex as outsourcing the whole process; the development of a rationalized test plan for all your target markets, carrying out the testing and certification as well as the regulatory agency liaison to facilitate approval.

    Services typically include:

      - Advice on your target markets with clear guidance on regulatory market entry requirements for each and recommendations for compliance
      - Development of rationalized test plan to take into account all your target markets; both those you wish to access immediately and those possible in the future. This approach avoids cost and time delays associated with re-testing
      - Provision of a highly skilled team of compliance engineers to your organization on a contract basis to provide guidance and walk your product through the entire compliance process
      - Provision of general compliance related advice, including the applicability of standards and product classification
      - Design review at the front end of the process to assure a compliant design prior to product revisions or commencing production
      - Support of laboratory testing at your chosen test laboratory
      - Collation of test data and creation of technical files to assure compliance within your target markets
      - In-country regulatory agency liaison to ensure your product(s) is(are) accepted in your target destination(s)
      - Follow up to assure that all aspects of compliance and supporting documentation are in place to support product shipments

    What are the key benefits?

      - Access the most up-to-date market entry requirements from a dedicated compliance management resource
      - Help guarantee an on-time or early product release date
      - Reduce approval costs through centralizing your whole approvals process
